(4) 1-3 A shy girl narrates the story of Ikarus Jackson, a new boy at school whose huge wings are mocked by his classmates, even though he can fly beautifully. Bravely, the girl scolds his tormentors and compliments him, producing a welcome smile in her new friend. The somewhat simplistic story is interpreted with dramatic, sophisticated collages using incongruous photographic images to create a vibrant cityscape.
